The AutoRotateTo command automatically rotates the selected objects or the scene to the specified orientation in the given number of steps. Then the rotation stops.
The orientation of an object is obtained by placing it at the origin,
so that the object's local coordinate system
and YASARA's global coordinate system
coincide. Then the object is rotated by Alpha degrees about the X-axis, then by Gamma degrees about the Z-axis and finally by Beta degrees about the Y-axis of YASARA's
global coordinate system.
Note however that the scene orientation is often reset to
0/0/0 (e.g. if you load another structure
or move one single object around). Therefore you must place the
AutoRotateTo command at exactly the spot in your macro where you used
Ori to get the orientation, otherwise you may end up with an unexpected view.
Example 1:
AutoRotateToObj 1crn,Alpha=20,Beta=180,Gamma=-30,Steps=100
Rotate object 1crn to angles 20/180/-30 in 100 steps.
Example 2:
AutoRotateToAll Beta=10,Steps=200,Wait=No
Rotate entire scene to a Beta angle of 10 in 200 steps, but do not wait till rotation is complete.
